Thank you. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10779#post-119221 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 09:26:04 +0000 kaputnik 119221@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>There's a serial jam-and-presever boiler on the forum, but they're on holiday. I'm sure they'd take your empty jars. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10779#post-119218 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 09:16:20 +0000 wingpig 119218@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@fimm Roughly how many? There's a serial jam-manufacturer at work I'll ask...</p> <p>Nup, he's full. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10779#post-119209 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 08:33:39 +0000 fimm 119209@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>There aren't many. I would probably put them in the front pannier of the Brompton with a bit of padding. Anything really fragile (laptop) I carry on my back. Fortunately I don't have to carry my laptop by bike very often.</p> <p>Now, does anyone want these jam jars?<br /> (I've already tried Freegle with zero response. I thought jam makers were always desperate for jars?) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10779#post-119198 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 23:33:23 +0000 kaputnik 119198@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Have never managed to smash a jar or bottle yet on the way to the bottle bank, even over cobbles when they're wedged in panniers and/or courier bag </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10779#post-119190 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 21:44:49 +0000 Uberuce 119190@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I wrap especially fragile things in towels then stow in the courier bag while the lock stays in the pannier. If I have to get serious, then it'll have to go in the trailer with adequate padding. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10779#post-119189 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 21:42:33 +0000 chdot 119189@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"it's just the way I ride then"</p> <p>Perhaps...</p> <p>Pack tightly, maybe add newspaper, avoid potholes... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10779#post-119187 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 21:37:22 +0000 Greenroofer 119187@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@chdot - may it's just the way I ride then. Stuff in my panniers seems to get shaken to bits quite regularly! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10779#post-119186 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 21:33:23 +0000 chdot 119186@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Not really fragile. </p> <p>Fine in courier bag or panniers. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10779#post-119185 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 21:30:34 +0000 Greenroofer 119185@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Given the occasional debates on here about 'things you can't carry on a bike', and discussion about how you <em>can</em> carry a washing machine, I wonder if fimm's collection of jam jars is one of the things you really wouldn't want to carry on a bike.</p> <p>I don't need them (we have our own collection lined up awaiting their jam) but I do wonder: if I did need them, how would I get them home from fimm on the bike without smashing them all to pieces en route?</p> <p>Large, light, and fragile: the worst kind of thing to carry on a bike.

They have now decided that they have enough jars. Would anyone like the jars I have before I put them in the recycling? </p>
